The NDTV Yuva Conclave on Saturday saw a witty exchange between BJP leader, former minister and actor Smriti Irani and Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao.
Answering rapid-fire questions, Ms Irani was given the prompt "opposition" and she immediately responded with "irresponsible", drawing loud applause from the audience. Asked if she thought expectations could be kept of any leader in the opposition, the reply was an even quicker, but still emphatic, "no".
When NDTV asked Mr Rao, who had addressed an earlier session and was sitting in the front row, whether he wanted to respond, the BRS leader folded his hands to gesture no.
"Woh haath jod ke baithe hai," Ms Irani said. "It seldom happens that a BJP leader is on a stage, the media gives an opposition leader a chance, and he says no. They shouldn’t then say they don’t get a chance to speak."
